Benang fabric collection Casamance

Benang fabric by Casamance: geometry with relief

The Benang fabric collection by Casamance is all about graphic patterns you can feel. Embroidery and weave structure give each pattern relief, so that the design changes with the light and with the folds of a curtain. The palette is earthy: ochre, brown, olive green, burgundy and ecru, with grey-blue as a cool counterbalance. The patterns range from wide meanders to small stripes, and precisely these differences in scale make it easy to combine designs. This Casamance fabric comes into its own in long panels, where the rhythm of the pattern has room to breathe.

Patterns in the Benang fabric collection

Uluwatu fabric is the most striking design: an ochre-yellow ground with large stepped meanders in wide ecru embroidery stitches, accompanied by thin dark grey lines that resemble beads. Tali fabric has a brown, silky weave structure with vertical columns of rectangles, diamonds and hexagons that together form vase shapes. The contours are ochre-yellow, the surfaces olive green, with elongated hexagons in burgundy in between. Pelangi fabric is calmer: short grey-blue stripes on ecru, grouped in rows into irregular bands. The eponymous design Benang fabric plays with coloured yarns in a striped pattern with an irregular structure. Teluk fabric is all about texture, with an interplay between matt and gloss.

Combining Benang by Casamance in your interior

Because the designs differ in scale, you can use them side by side without them overwhelming each other. Let Uluwatu fill an entire wall as a curtain and choose Pelangi for the window next to it. Tali works well against a plain fabric in olive green or burgundy, colours that are already in the embroidery. Teluk, with its play of matt and gloss, creates calm between the graphic patterns.
